Arthritis Treatment at ARC Chiropractic
Arthritis Symptoms
Arthritis can manifest in various joints, often leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. Common symptoms include joint inflammation, reduced range of motion, and a feeling of warmth around affected areas. You may experience fatigue, and in severe cases, joint deformity can occur. If left untreated, arthritis can worsen, leading to a significant decrease in mobility and quality of life.
Causes of Arthritis
Arthritis can result from wear and tear, autoimmune conditions, or injury. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, occurs when cartilage breaks down due to aging or repetitive stress. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition, happens when the immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation. Other factors contributing to arthritis include genetics, obesity, and previous joint injuries.
